What show do you LOVE that you know is no damn good.
My show is BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE GOES PUBLIC. The score is a hoot. I'm still kicking myself for choosing to see Diana Rigg in MEDEA instead of WHOREHOUSE. I was in high culture mood. But after reading the script and hearing the score, I know I made the made the biggest theatrical mistake of my life.

"Love" is probably a little strong. But the musical that I know all the words to and still consider terrible and saccharine and contributing to the demise of musical theatre: Wicked.
One that I own the OBC of, but don't listen to religiously: Zanna, Don't!
Musicals that have songs I enjoy (despite words exchanged with Marc Shaiman on one of these very message boards): Hairspray Footloose

I don't consider CARRIE a guilty pleasure. The score, IMO, is gorgeous and underrated, and Betty Buckley has never sounded better. It's such a shame the score was never (legally) recorded.
My guilty pleasure is the GREASE cast recording with Rosie O'Donnell.
